I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Here’s a quick summary of what we know about Bird Flu. Please reshare if you find it helpful!

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.” It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide. It’s perfectly fine as it is. Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

✅ DEI Employers of the Day™ 25 retailers that have stated commitments to diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) "As more retailers like Walmart and Target drop DEI initiatives, companies' efforts to find and fund Black-owned brands are also at risk." - @cnbc.com www.impactivize.org/dei-employer...

Tueaday edition of The Jim Acosta Show with Michael Cohen and Olivia Troye. We discussed Trump playing chicken with the courts, Musk mayem and the “Gulf of America.” I tell Google to change it back! Also… Special guest: Greg the plant! open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Long shift. Had 5 mins to sign on to shaky hospital WiFi. Lighting not exactly studio-quality. But whatever it takes to get the message out. Be vigilant for you and your family. I’m seeing severe Flu cases in our ICU. This is preventable. #medsky www.king5.com/video/news/n...

Never fear the consequences if you are standing up for what it is right. Karma and grace will bless and protect you.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Remove him from office.

Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war. They fought when that freedom didn’t include them. Black History is, and will ALWAYS be, American History. #BlackHistoryMonth

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

Elon Musk cut the staff of Twitter from about 8k employees to about 2k. The crash at Reagan National—w/o adequate numbers of controllers tragically illustrates that the stupid thinking of the Trump-Musk regime to “fix things” by cutting civil servants is a dangerously wrong path for our country.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight. Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research? They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with. Keep. Fighting. Back.

Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 🤣

The CDC and FDA may not be able to share health updates but rest assured I will always do what I can to fill the void. We discussed flu and ways to keep safe this evening for @nbcnews.com Link: www.king5.com/video/news/h...

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com told me to join Bluesky last night and it only took me 24 hours to figure it out.

A confession?

This is the kind of leadership failure we should notice. Forget Trump here. These California Republicans thought it was more important to go to Florida than help in whatever way they could where the crisis is happening.

Biden: "The Palestinian people deserve peace and the right to determine their own future. Israel deserves peace and real security. And the hostages and their family deserve to be reunited."
